Popular Post Ricksneatstuff Posted July 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 27, 2020 I love the artwork on pulps and have been picking up a few pieces here and there. It is difficult to find original artwork from the best artists. Please show what you got here. my first entry is the cover of Famous Fantastic Mysteries from October 1942 by Virgil Finlay.

Popular Post detective35 Posted July 29, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2020 The Shadow - The Creeping Death - Jan. 15, 1933 21” x 30” (Oil on canvas) I remember saying to a few people, if I could have one Shadow Painting (or any pulp painting ever done), “The Creeping Death” would be the one. When it came up for auction at Heritage I couldn’t believe it, and I eventually ended up with it. A heartfelt “thank you” to Ferd Bernjak, Glynn Craine, and Todd Hignite who helped me obtain it!

Popular Post detective35 Posted September 8, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 8, 2020 (edited) My other original Shadow pulp painting by George Rozen. The painting is known for its optical illusion! HISTORIC FACT! **“The Third Skull” painting (circa. 1935) was sent to a WW2 airforce base where the image was actually used on the one of their bombers.** Re-appearance! The painting re-surfaced with Bob Weinberg in the early 1970’s, where it was sold at an early Pulp Con to Robert Hemsky. Walter Gibson, whom was a guest at this particular convention, was both shocked and overjoyed to see it. I have posted a picture at Pulp-con from the early 1970s with Bob Weinberg, Robert Hemsky, and Walter Gibson (L to R). 21” x 30” - Oil on canvas!

Popular Post Hap Hazard Posted October 14, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 14, 2020 Just picked up a EMSH Preliminary for Ellery Queen 2/61, digest not pulp but still fits. Kind of a odd ball painting for EMSH with Science Fiction paperbacks and sci fi digests his claim to fame. rjpb, Robot Man, detective35 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post detective35 Posted October 26, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted October 26, 2020 (edited) Excited that I was able to add a killer Saunders painting to my collection! When I spoke to David Saunders he relayed to me the story behind the inspiration of this painting, and he said this was a very significant painting that his father did. 21” x 30” (Oil on canvas) Circa. 1939 Secret Agent X *the last issue in the run* Edited October 26, 2020 by detective35 BCarter27, OtherEric, ThothAmon and 10 others 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post detective35 Posted April 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted April 9, 2021 (edited) Just got the Saunders painting cleaned and framed snd thought I would share the pictures with you. I attached a picture of what it looked like in person when viewing post-auction. Pre-cleaning picture was taken after the auction was over by the expert cleaning the painting.

Popular Post RedFury Posted May 14, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 14, 2021 Worse Things Waiting (Carcosa, 1973) by Manly Wade Wellman is one of my favorite weird fiction collections. It contains some of Wellman's best stories from Weird Tales, Strange Tales, Unknown, and others, and is an absolute joy to read. Wellman won the 1975 World Fantasy Award for "Best Single Author Collection" for Worse Things Waiting, and last year I was fortunate to add that award to my collection. Recently I was able to track down the original cover art for the book by Lee Brown Coye, and it arrived yesterday. I'm really happy to be able to pair it with the award.
